[SOLVED] how to convert after upload image to base 64 in laravel to save in db? - Laravel.io - The Laravel Community Portal. Quick Tip: The Convenient Magic of Eloquent Observers. If you’ve used Eloquent on medium to large projects before, you may have encountered a situation where you want to take action when something happens to your models.

Eloquent provides a convenient way to do so. The Observer Pattern The observer pattern is a software design pattern in which an object, called the subject, maintains a list of its dependents, called observers, and notifies them automatically of any state changes, usually by calling one of their methods. – Wikipedia In our case, Eloquent models can notify us about changes on a given model. Model Events Eloquent provides a handful of useful events to monitor the model state: creating, created, updating, updated, deleting, deleted, saving, saved, restoring, restored. Notice the “ing/ed” difference. creating: Called before saving the new member.created: Called after saving the member.

Eloquent also fires similar events that we can listen for. Event::listen("eloquent.created: App\\Member", function(Member $member) { });

Laravel Collections Make PHP Development Awesome - Activate Saga. Laravel provides a lot of amazing tools out-of-the-box and collections are one of them.

The collection class within Illuminate\Support is basically a wrapper that allows you to work with and manipulate arrays of data. One of the things I’ve noticed that the class uses PHP’s default array methods such as, array_sum, array_map, array_keys, etc. within the map method, you can see that it utilizes array_map and array_keys: /** * Run a map over each of the items. * * @param callable $callback * @return static */public function map(callable $callback){ $keys = array_keys($this->items); $items = array_map($callback, $this->items, $keys); return new static(array_combine($keys, $items));}

Laravel Quick Tip: Model Route Binding. One of the great things that Laravel provides is the easy to use routing component.

It offers simple URLs, parameters, grouping, naming and event guarding route groups, to name a few of the different options. Let’s pretend we have a list of categories in a database, and the admin can manage categories from the back end. Here’s how your routes file should look like. Inside your CategoriesController class, you’ll have the seven resource methods. Inside the edit action, we should check if the category being edited exists in the database, otherwise we redirect back with an error message. Model Binding This is the usual way of doing it, but Laravel also has a nicer way of optimizing this repetitive task called route model binding.

Tracking If a User Is Currently Online in Laravel (the easy way) - Erik Belusic. Today I was tasked with adding a little green dot next to a username, denoting if they are online or not, on a user profile page, in a Laravel app. My first thought was that we were going to need to spin up a node.js server and track of active socket connections for each user. Then with the currently logged in users socket, we can update online status in real time!

The only issue is that this was a little bit over the top for our current requirement, and was not completely necessary until we have features that require up to the second accuracy such as real-time chat. A colleague pointed out that for the current need, the way that MySpace used to handle the “online” feature may be sufficient. To the best of our knowledge, the way that MySpace used to display if a user was online or not was based on their last activity on the site.

Let’s just add a column to the users table for that user’s last activity, and update that on every page request. We have a plan, so let’s get into the code!
